Environmental Air Quality and Your Health

One thing that we don’t always think about as we go through each day is the quality of the air in the environment around us. Unless the air quality is extremely poor, we usually don’t worry about it or at least don’t pay attention to it. But there are many different things that contribute to poor environmental air quality and so awareness is the first step in ensuring you aren’t subjecting yourself or your family to unhealthful conditions.

One example of how they have done that is through “air alerts”. For the past few months, as part of their Healthy Hearths Program the South Coast AQMD has had a voluntary “Check Before You Burn” program in place. Residents were able to check the map to see if a voluntary no-burn advisory was issued.

So, one of the key ways to get started along a more environmentally-friendly path is to get yourself educated. Without being educated on the importance of air quality and how it relates to your health, you may be contributing to poor air quality without even realizing what you are doing.

Even taking simple steps such as using more public transportation, cutting down on vehicle emissions, investing in alternative energies for your home or business, planting trees around your home or office, etc. can make a difference when it comes to air quality and your health.

About Us

Welcome to Biofriendly Planet Magazine, the home base for people who help to make the environment cleaner.

There are a lot of magazines, websites and groups that discuss the problems we face because of environmental pollution. While many of the same stories that those groups cover are shared here for reference, this is not another one of those websites. This magazine is a place for people who want simple ways to actively make this planet greener and who are tired of the doom and gloom reporting on the environment.

There are two purposes for this magazine:

1. To find, share and discuss everyday solutions that contribute to solving the environmental problems we face.

2. To alleviate some of the doom and gloom pressure of global pollution through a lighter take on the day’s environmental issues and through sharing the beauty of the environment itself.

With that in mind, don’t forget to join the conversation. This site exists so that you can share your ideas for a greener planet and to ask questions of others who do the same.

Thanks for visiting and we hope that you have a good a great time and get some new ideas while you’re here.
